P Gowtham, 5, son of truck driver Mahesh and his wife Nagalakshmi from Bhagat Singh Nagar in Suryapet left the house at 7.30pm on Saturday. “In the evening we purchased crackers and I dropped him home.
Later in the night he went to a store nearby on his cycle and bought oil and matchboxes. As he did not return home in 10 minutes, my wife went in search of him and his cycle was found nearby,” Mahesh told media personnel.
The family immediately lodged a police complaint and cops along with the boy’s family, searched for him in the neighbourhood till morning. While cops continued to look for the boy, at around 8.30 am, a lady tailor in Gowtham’s neighbourhood received a phone call from an unknown person. “The caller said that boy was with him.
